One way you can help pay for your education is through a work-study job. A work-study job allows for part-time student employment on-campus or off-campus with a pre-approved organization.
Work-study is more than an ordinary part-time job: it’s a form of financial aid, awarded either by the state or federal government, as a form of “self-help” so you don’t have to pay it back. Through work-study, you gain work experience and professional skills, network in your field of interest, and best of all earn a paycheck, ultimately helping you pay for your education!
To get a work-study job, you must have a completed FAFSA for the applicable aid year and meet the eligibility criteria.
As a reminder, work-study funds awarded to you will NOT pay toward your student balance.
